Senior Unity Engineer

The Job

You will work across all areas of game development and play a big part in the success of our newest game. You will mentor team members and increase the studio wide knowledge of Unity. You will work closely with engineers, artists and designers to help us take our new game to the next stage. You will have a major impact on the end product and see millions of people using what you create.

The Team

You will be working on our newest game, Kingdoms of Heckfire. Internally we call it Team Kraken (all our teams are named after sea creatures). With the recent launch of our new game you will have the chance to greatly contribute to the team’s success. Help us realize the potential of our next big hit by building the features and mechanics that will contribute to the game’s success.

While All our Apes are Different, to Thrive Here You Should:

Be self motivated, take pride in your work and enjoy huge amounts of ownership

Set aside your ego and have wonderful arguments with your coworkers in order to create something better than any one person could individually

Challenge your own assumptions and use data to make decisions whenever possible

Be passionate about teaching others what you know and continuing your own growth every day

Not be afraid to fail, you experiment and learn from your mistakes

About ATA

A Thinking Ape is an independent mobile games startup with big ambitions. We are a team of 60 people, though sometimes we call ourselves apes 🦍 + 1-3 dogs 🐶 (depending on the day), growing in the heart of downtown Vancouver. On Wednesdays we all eat catered lunch together. So far taco bars are our favourite 🌮 , but we're open to new suggestions.

Our years of success comes down to our belief in people: both our team and our players. We build games that foster communities and provide our players with tools to interact in deeply strategic and passionate ways, creating games that become a part of our player’s lives. But building games of this quality is challenging, so we work hard to find the smartest and most talented people in the world, then give them the freedom to do their best work.

We champion a culture of ownership, based on exploration and debate regardless of position. Our team is supported with an open concept studio space, movable standing workstations and employee-determined work schedules. We keep communication flowing with quarterly State of the Ape meetings, mid-quarter updates with our Directors, monthly Ask a Founder Fridays, and regular one-on-ones with your team lead.

We value passion and diversity and believe that our differences make us better as a collective. If you’re ready to make the next generation of top grossing mobile games, we’d love to hear from you!
